Forwood baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Forwood Baronetcy, of The Priory, Gateacre, in the parish of Childwall in the County Palatine of Lancaster, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 5 September 1895 for the Conservative politician Sir Arthur Forwood, 1st Baronet,[1] son of wealthy merchant Thomas Friend Brittain Peploe Forwood, and brother of Sir William Bower Forwood and Ernest Harrison Forwood.[2] He served as Parliamentary and Financial Secretary to the Admiralty from 1886 to 1892. The Forwood Baronetcy became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in 2019.
